M. GONZALEZ-MIRANDA´ Departamento de F´ısica Fundamental, Universidad de Barcelona, Avenida Diagonal 647, Barcelona 08028, Spain Received June 12, 2006; Revised October 25, 2006 The results of a study of the bifurcation diagram of the Hindmarsh–Rose neuron model in a two-dimensional parameter space are reported. This diagram shows the existence and extent of complex bifurcation structures that might be useful to understand the mechanisms used by the neurons to encode information and give rapid responses to stimulus. Moreover, the information contained in this phase diagram provides a background to develop our understanding of the dynamics of interacting neurons.

Fixed points, periodic orbits, and bifurcations are described and chaos is introduced using the logistic map. Symbolic dynamics are used to show that the doubling map and the logistic map have the properties of chaos. The significance of a period-3 orbit is examined and the concept of universality is introduced. Finally the Cantor Set provides a brief example of the use of iterative processes to generate fractals. *supervised by Dr. Alex James, University of Canterbury. 1 Introduction Devaney [1992] describes dynamical systems as "the branch of mathematics that attempts to describe processes in motion)) . Dynamical systems are mathematical models of systems that change with time and can be used to model either discrete or continuous processes. Contin­ uous dynamical systems e.g. mechanical systems, chemical kinetics, or electric circuits can be modeled by differential equations. Discrete dynamical systems are physical systems that involve discrete time intervals, e.g. certain types of population growth, daily fluctuations in the stock market, the spread of cases of infectious diseases, and loans (or deposits) where interest is compounded at fixed intervals. Discrete dynamical systems can be modeled by iterative maps. This project considers one-dimensional discrete dynamical systems. In the first section, the behaviour and properties of one-dimensional maps are examined using both analytical and graphical methods.

  • Pseudo-Random Number Generator Based on Logistic Chaotic System
    entropy Article Pseudo-Random Number Generator Based on Logistic Chaotic System Luyao Wang and Hai Cheng * Electronic Engineering College, Heilongjiang University, Harbin 150080, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 August 2019; Accepted: 27 September 2019; Published: 30 September 2019 Abstract: In recent years, a chaotic system is considered as an important pseudo-random source to pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs). This paper proposes a PRNG based on a modified logistic chaotic system. This chaotic system with fixed system parameters is convergent and its chaotic behavior is analyzed and proved. In order to improve the complexity and randomness of modified PRNGs, the chaotic system parameter denoted by floating point numbers generated by the chaotic system is confused and rearranged to increase its key space and reduce the possibility of an exhaustive attack. It is hard to speculate on the pseudo-random number by chaotic behavior because there is no statistical characteristics and infer the pseudo-random number generated by chaotic behavior. The system parameters of the next chaotic system are related to the chaotic values generated by the previous ones, which makes the PRNG generate enough results. By confusing and rearranging the output sequence, the system parameters of the previous time cannot be gotten from the next time which ensures the security. The analysis shows that the pseudo-random sequence generated by this method has perfect randomness, cryptographic properties and can pass the statistical tests. Keywords: logistic chaotic system; PRNG; Pseudo-random number sequence 1.

    systems Communication Visual Analysis of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems: Chaos, Fractals, Self-Similarity and the Limits of Prediction Geoff Boeing Department of City and Regional Planning, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-510-642-6000 Academic Editor: Ockie Bosch Received: 7 September 2016; Accepted: 7 November 2016; Published: 13 November 2016 Abstract: Nearly all nontrivial real-world systems are nonlinear dynamical systems. Chaos describes certain nonlinear dynamical systems that have a very sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Chaotic systems are always deterministic and may be very simple, yet they produce completely unpredictable and divergent behavior. Systems of nonlinear equations are difficult to solve analytically, and scientists have relied heavily on visual and qualitative approaches to discover and analyze the dynamics of nonlinearity. Indeed, few fields have drawn as heavily from visualization methods for their seminal innovations: from strange attractors, to bifurcation diagrams, to cobweb plots, to phase diagrams and embedding. Although the social sciences are increasingly studying these types of systems, seminal concepts remain murky or loosely adopted. This article has three aims. First, it argues for several visualization methods to critically analyze and understand the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems. Second, it uses these visualizations to introduce the foundations of nonlinear dynamics, chaos, fractals, self-similarity and the limits of prediction. Finally, it presents Pynamical, an open-source Python package to easily visualize and explore nonlinear dynamical systems’ behavior. Keywords: visualization; nonlinear dynamics; chaos; fractal; attractor; bifurcation; dynamical systems; prediction; python; logistic map 1.

Jakimowicz Department of Quantitative Methods, Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn M. Oczapowskiego 4, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland The catastrophe theory and deterministic chaos constitute the basic elements of economic complexity. Elemen- tary catastrophes were the rst remarkable form of nonlinear, topological complexity that were thoroughly studied in economics. Another type of catastrophe is the complexity catastrophe, namely an increase in the complexity of a system beyond a certain threshold which marks the beginning of a decrease in a system's adaptive capacity. As far as the ability to survive is concerned, complex adaptive systems should function within the range of optimal complexity which is neither too low or too high. Deterministic chaos and other types of complexity follow from the catastrophe theory. In general, chaos is seemingly random behavior of a deterministic system which stems from its high sensitivity to the initial condition. The theory of nonlinear dynamical systems, which unites various man- ifestations of complexity into one integrated system, runs contrary to the assumption that markets and economies spontaneously strive for a state of equilibrium. The opposite applies: their complexity seems to grow due to the inuence of classical economic laws. DOI: 10.12693/APhysPolA.123.542 PACS: 89.65.Gh, 05.45.Pq, 05.45.−a, 89.75.−k 1.

  • Variations of the Lorenz-96 Model
    Variations of the Lorenz-96 Model Master Thesis in Mathematics: Mathematics and Complex Dynamical Systems Name: Anouk F.G. Pelzer, s2666545 First supervisor: Dr. A.E. Sterk Second supervisor: Prof. Dr. H. Waalkens Date: 29 June 2020 Abstract. In this thesis we will investigate the differences between the monoscale Lorenz-96 model and its modifications. We obtain these modifications by changing the structure of the nonlinear terms in the original Lorenz-96 model. We will treat the gen- eral modified model and three specific systems and compare these with the Lorenz-96 model. To determine the dynamics of the models, we will study the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix at the trivial equilibrium, Lyapunov coefficients to distinguish between sub- and supercritical Hopf bifurcations, Lyapunov exponents to determine when there is chaos for example etc. Some of the results are that in the Lorenz-96 model there are no escaping orbits, while this is only true under some conditions for the modified systems. Furthermore there are differences in bifurcations. The external forcing F ap- pearing in the equations of all these models can be used as a bifurcation parameter. The trivial equilibrium is always stable when F is zero for every model. For F < 0 some modifications has a stable trivial equilibrium, while this is not the case for the original model. For this model there only occur first Hopf bifurcations when F is positive, but for its modifications there can be other (first) bifurcations too, like a Pitchfork bifurcation. There are even bifurcations occuring for these modified systems, while these don't ap- pear in the original Lorenz-96 model case, such as degenerate bifurcations meaning that suddenly there appear simultaneously more than one equilibrium and two eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix are zero at the same bifurcation parameter F .

The constructed map exhibits interesting chaos related phenomena like antimonotonicity, crisis, and coexisting attractors. In addition, the Lyapunov exponent of the map can achieve higher values, so the behavior of the proposed map is overall more complex compared to the original. The map is then successfully applied to the problem of random bit generation using techniques like the comparison between maps, XOR, and bit reversal. The proposed algorithm passes all the NIST tests, shows good correlation characteristics, and has a high key space. Keywords: random bit generation; logistic map; chaos; chaos-based cryptography 1.
